I bought this product 2 months ago and tested it first on a sunny day when I knew I’d be outside long enough to see results. I smeared a dot on each shoulder – should’ve put it all over because I ended up being out much longer than planned and burned each shoulder except for the quarter sized pale dot where the Mexitan had been applied. My husband and I use it frequently on ourselves and our 3 little boys – no one has gotten burned yet. We do apply it 20-30 minutes before going out so that it has time to work properly. The smell is not offensive, just clean and fresh smelling. I have very sensitive skin but haven’t had any rashes, so that makes me happy. Our only complaint is that if you rub it too long or apply to an area where you already just applied it, it can slough or roll off in little bits. It spreads very easily unlike some of the other sunscreens that are safer or more natural. Takes a little practice and getting used to – just spread quickly and thoroughly and don’t overspread or overapply. I’m much better with it, my husband is not as patient, but getting there. If you are swimming, heavily applied areas can whiten, but the excess disappears with a gentle swipe. That’s the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars, but hey, it’s not full of chemicals so I think I can handle some streaking. We do exercise common sense by being careful to watch for signs of burning even when we’re using suncreen, but we haven’t had that problem so far with this product. So far our experience with this product has been positive. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: filmy, October 16, 2009 By Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) This review is from: Mexitan SPF 30 All Natural Biodegradable Water Resistant Sunscreen-# MEX-30-8 (Misc.) This sunscreen is like no other I have ever used, and I am not sure if it is in a good way. It does not absorb into the skin like normal lotions. Instead, it creates a film on top of the skin. Do not apply too much and smooth over skin quickly, again do not try to rub it- just spread and let dry before dressing. It peels pretty bad if you apply too much. It did prevent sunburn on my recent cruise and 6 hour open boat excursion in Cozumel. I bought this due to the fact that our reef system is damaged by chemical sunscreens and spending time exploring reefs, I never want to damage them. For that reason, I would buy again. Just beware that the application takes a little practice. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: Chemical free sunscreen, application tips, November 24, 2009 By Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) This review is from: Mexitan SPF 30 All Natural Biodegradable Water Resistant Sunscreen-# MEX-30-8 (Misc.) A little goes a long way with Mexitan SPF 30. It is very important to make sure you rub it in right away until you can’t see any white on your skin. If you leave white spots, they will quickly dry and flake off creating a shedding effect. It goes on as a creamy white liquid, spreads quickly but also dries quickly. Seems to protect just fine, no problems with sunburn or irritation. The only problem is that it seems to dry the skin slightly so using a moisturizer after bathing is helpful. I am very fair and using regular sunscreens seemed to irritate my skin after several hours so this product works well for me as it doesn’t contain any of the damaging chemicals used in most popular brands of sunscreen. |
